Tips to Keep the Little Ones Safe this Halloween

Keeping your children safe should be the number one priority when taking them out trick-or-treating. Of course you want them to have fun, but Halloween is a dangerous night for pedestrians. According to the National Safety Council, children are more than twice as likely to be hit by a car and killed on Halloween than on any other day of the year. To help keep children safe follow these tips:

Keep an eye out for children crossing the street. They may not use crosswalks or intersections when crossing, so it's important to watch out for children.

Use your headlights, day and night. This makes your car more easily visible to trick-or-treaters.

Avoid distractions while driving. Distracted driving is a major cause of car accidents. Don't partake in any activity that takes your attention away from the road.

Drive slower than the speed limit by at least 5 miles per hour. Children are so busy having fun that they sometimes forget to look before crossing the street. Driving slower allows you more time to react.
